There are a bunch of us from work here (well, 5, including me) in Las Vegas for the Web Builder 2.0 conference. We met tonight for dinner, since the conference doesn't start until tomorrow.
I got down to the restaurant early, and well, since this is Las Vegas there were tons of slot machines outside the restaurant. So I figured, what the hell, I'll put in a dollar and see what happens. I played the nickle slots, since I didn't want to be too free with my dollar. I won a $1.70.
Wow! I've never won at a slot machine before. This is my second time ever playing. So, I took my ticket (they don't give you coins at the machines anymore) and waited for the rest of the group. But it was still early, so I figured, what the hell. I'm up 70 cents. Let's try another dollar. This time I won $13.20.
Double wow! Up almost $15!! Giddy with my new found wealth, I went and met my party and we had a lovely dinner. A few of us were hanging around afterwards, waiting for folks to get back from the loo, and I thought why not? I'll try another dollar.
THIRTY-FOUR DOLLARS AND 85 CENTS!
I won $49.75 from playing $3. I think that's pretty cool. But as tempting as it is to try something with higher stakes (like the dime slots!), I cashed in my tickets and now am safely upstairs in my room reviewing slides for my presentation later this week. Let luck be a lady for someone else tonight.
Oh, and in case you are interested, it's the Little Green Men machine outside of Mesa Grill.
